Hi, Ed:

This photo has lovely composition. Your eye flows through the entire photo. There are obviously two places where the eye is intended to look. I like the fact that the back wall and the model's chest are out of focus. By doing this, these places are not competing for the eye's attention.

However, I do feel that the models face could be ever so slightly sharper, in order to truly draw the eye to the main point of focus.

I also like the colouring effect that you've created: mostly dutone (black and white) with a spot of red. Well done!

Oh, a beautiful model too.

Cheers,
Glenn #2926

Thanks Glenn, but there really wasn't a whole lot of planning on this shot. It was the last shot on the last roll we shot that day and I just fired the shot off to complete the roll. When I got the roll back, I saw that 1/4 of the frame was cut off, but what was left of the picture looked great.

Go figure, huh?? Talk about luck :) #4711
